Bruce Weber probably wasn’t expecting to hear the Panera Bread clerk compliment his team when he stopped into the restaurant Saturday night.
And the K-State head coach probably wasn’t anticipating such precise, purposeful praise, either.
But that’s what happened when he visited.
“I went to Panera last night to get some soup for my wife, and the girl at the checkout said, ‘My dad and I were watching the game, and you guys have so much versatility. So many weapons. It’s going to be hard to scout,’” Weber said.
The praise was well-earned: K-State saw four players score in double-figures for the third straight game Sunday night in Manhattan, and the Wildcats blew out Hampton, 89-67, in the first night of the Barclays Center Classic.
